        Hi!


        Dd is enjoying her holidays. She has arranged play dates for almost every other day so far! And what with her dance and ballet lessons … She’s out of the house everyday and doesn’t even have time to finish reading the story books we bought.

        She brought home the form for higher Chinese at the last week of term. So I asked her if she wanted to take higher Chinese. "No." So she’s not doing higher Chinese.

        I struggle to decide where to draw the line - the line between getting good grades, and allowing for play and interactions with her peers. You see, I feel that children should learn now what will prepare them for tomorrow’s world. With so many Asian children heavily skewed towards IQ development, I suspect tomorrow’s demand will be for persons with good EQ development. As in there will be al lot of people with high IQ, but fewer people with good EQ.

        So today, I will take away the iPad and delete the games on the mobile, … but I will allow her to go for play dates and dance away the time.

          for applying DSA, do we need P5 results?
          I think so.

                Yup, relying on answer sheet, solve backward using algebra, then go back using model.
                That is why don't let the kids to solve Maths the day before exam. Make them do 2 weeks before, at least you give yourself ample time to solve after a tiring day at work. CMC (can means can)

                  Sniggles made in china with lousy quality. Looks nice at first sight but after usage, question mark.

                    for us, my boy will do the Math venture mag that we ordered and when he got stuck, he will approach husband, or wait for the answers in the next issue. then during topical test, we just use our selected assessment books (with worked solution - i just let him see the solution and if he still does not understand, then he will approach husband). then March/Sept holiday, we will do exam papers. any question he stuck, will go ask husband. if husband stuck, we will get him to approach his math teacher....have to do way before exams and not last minute.

                        I visited one of their stores. Really striking colours and creative concept. My kids said many of their classmates own some of the items. Didn't buy for them though. Ridiculously overpriced
